Comments for the name Ricki

Talk show hostess Ricki Lake is a famous bearer.

For women, Ricki is the pet name of Richelle.

Love this as a girl's name. Unfortunately, there's a boy in my year at school called Rikki, and he's Satan's twelve year old incarnation. It's put me off any variaton of this name for boys.

I don't really even like this boyish nickname for a guy, and I absolutely hate it for a girl. It's far too masculine, and it doesn't sound all that edgy and spunky either. If your name is Erica, it would be better if you at least went by Rica. This name only sounds okay on young guys and tomboyish girls, not really on grown-ups, especially women, even if they are androgynous.

"Ricki" reads as completely feminine to me. Guys are better off with the "Ricky" spelling.

My name is Erin and Ricki is my nickname. My dad's name is Eric so that is where I got the nickname. Ricki is completely feminine to me. It's an adorable nickname.

I prefer this as a masculine name, spelled Ricky. Only as a nickname for Richard, of course.
